Ulreich filled in the void left by Neuer's injury last season

Sven Ulreich was always going to find first-team football difficult after shifting to the Allianz Arena in 2015 from VfB Stuttgart.

The German had managed 176 starts for Stuttgart and become an integral part of their lineup. Since the move, Manuel Neuer has been taking the show by storm with his sweeper-keeper skills while Ulreich sits on the bench.

Last season saw a different goalkeeper in Ulreich, however, as Neuer's long injury gave the young German keeper a chance to save his career. Despite the odd mistake, the youngster didn't hesitate and proved to the world why he deserves to be playing for a top club.

Teams like Leipzig, Napoli, Valencia and even Schalke 04 would be ideal destinations for the shot-stopper as he'd be given more exposure to regular playing time and establish himself as a first-team goalkeeper.
